Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. crt.sh | example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

My domain is:
silvamark.webhop.net
I ran this command:

sudo snap install certbot --classic

It produced this output:

Hi @silvamark ,

Sorry to hear you've having trouble installing Certbot.

The problem here is that Fedora 25 stopped receiving updates at the end of 2017. Fedora releases are not supported for very long compared to the average Linux distribution.

I installed Fedora 25 locally and get the same issue as you installing Certbot via snaps. It looks like an issue with the SELinux policies on F25.

If you really need to get an ACME client working on this server, you might consider some of the alternative client options such as acme.sh which might still work on unsupported operating systems.

Otherwise I recommend upgrading to one of the versions of Fedora which are still receiving updates. You'd also be able to install a recent version Certbot from EPEL this way, if you wanted to.
